Case 1 ‐ Deep sea port and industrial developmentCase 2 ‐ Coal Power Plant of 600 MW capacityCase 3 ‐ Thai ‐Malaysian gas pipeline and gas separation plant
Conclusion
All 3 CHIA cases were implemented according to HIA process however, the methodology of each step was different.
The level of community participation was different, depending on• The entry point for conducting CHIA
• Deep sea port and industrial development : against the project by using CHIA network
• Coal Power Plant of 600 MW capacity : against the project by using section 11 of the National Health Act 2007
• Thai ‐Malaysian gas pipeline and gas separation plant : • monitoring and evaluation by using CHIA network
22
• Situation and context of community• CHIA Facilitator• Time period of CHIA process
Community participation in CHIA process can take community concerns and values into decision making.
Lack of monitoring and evaluation steps in all 3 CHIA case studies.
